Restoring Backed-up Items
You may sometimes want to restore files and other items backed up on the WD
ShareSpace drive. For example, you may have lost a file, or you want to see files from
a week ago. You can restore individual items, multiple items, folders, or if your system
crashes, your entire hard drive.
To restore backed-up items to your hard drive:
1. Open the window on your computer where you want the item restored. For
example, if you are restoring a document, open the Documents folder. (If you are
restoring an item on your desktop, you do not need to open a window.)
2. Click the Time Machine icon in the Dock or select Enter Time Machine from
the drop-down menu.
All of your backups display in a cascade, with the most recent backup in the front.
